Lyssa Rollolazo

Director of Communications & Hospitality

[email protected]

It’s a true joy and privilege to serve as the Director of Communications and Hospitality. I strive to effectively communicate the parish’s mission, vision, and values throughout all communication media. My primary goal is always to bring people closer to Christ. Hospitality is a reflection of my faith in action. Whether someone is new to the parish or well established in our community, I want them to know they belong. Supporting our incredible ministries and helping share the good work happening across our community is one of the most fulfilling parts of my role. I truly enjoy helping our ministries and fellowship groups draw people into deeper engagement. I also help plan and promote parish events that foster Catholic community, such as seasonal liturgical gatherings, parish retreats, fellowship events, and fundraising efforts. 

  •  What is the best advice you’ve ever received?  Always be kind and you will always be happy.  
  • What is your favorite holiday tradition and why? One of my favorite holiday traditions is celebrating Advent with my three boys. When they were very young, my mom made us a beautiful Advent House. Each night during Advent, we read a passage from the Gospel of Luke, and the boys take turns opening a little door on the house. This simple tradition grounds us in faith and brings a sense of peace and reflection during the often chaotic “Christmas season.”
